Nenad Pantic Biography

Ireland, born 1972

I'm a visual artist primarily working in fine arts, encompassing mediums such as painting and drawing, both in traditional and digital formats. My creative process is deeply influenced by my passion for philosophy, spirituality, and the exploration of consciousness.

My fascination with otherworldly experiences began in childhood, nurtured by my father—an architect and painter himself, who possessed an impressive collection of books dedicated to spirituality and esoteric sciences. Early on, I had out-of-body and lucid dreaming encounters that felt undeniably real, igniting my thirst for knowledge. I immersed myself in a diverse array of literature, encompassing authors and works like the Bhagavad Gita, C.G. Jung, Rudolf Steiner, Gnosticism, and Lovecraft, both fictional and historical.

My art is a reflection of the wisdom I've absorbed from these sources and the trials I've faced in life, particularly during times of conflict and displacement. Today, my life is far more peaceful, having found a haven in the picturesque town of Greystones, Ireland, where the enchanting realms of Celtic mythology and the Faerie world originally kindled my artistic aspirations, inspired by creators like Brian Froud. I'm privileged to now reside in a country that grants me access to ancient wonders such as the Hill of Tara and Newgrange, as well as the opportunity to wander through its lush, enchanted forests.

I hope that some of my art resonates with you.
